Orange you glad?
/Orange you glad it's autumn?
(I am!)
Every fall I find myself reminiscing about spring & summer, thinking:
WOW! Can Mother Nature throw a party or what?
No, really!
The kaleidoscope of colours that mother nature puts on display, reminds me of the fireworks that happen after a long, hot and energetic festival. The celebrations we throw, show a definite thread of similarity to the opening acts of spring, the full out celebration of summer and the end of party fireworks that dazzle us with an autumnal wash of colour. Follow that up with a long winters nap to help us and the world recuperate and we are ready to start into a fresh day, a new spring.
If you think about it, we are living in the perpetual flow of this natural spectacular called life all year long. It happens whether we want it or not, whether we are ready or not, whether we are noticing or not, whether we are happy or not. Wherever we are in life, we always have the option to jump in and experience some aspect of this continuous celebration, or not. The option is always ours. And yes, of course, there are always unwelcome party crashers along the way. These crashers, better known as tragedy, pain, bumps and curve balls, are sometimes the contrast we get (but definitely don’t want) to allow us complete appreciation of the good stuff. (Think winter vs summer, storm vs calm...) We’ve all experienced our share.
So, this fall, regardless of what life has thrown at you, may I suggest that you take the time to grab your blankets and your loved ones. Step into the great outdoors and enjoy mother nature’s autumn spectacular. Make loving memories while life is vibrant, enjoying the show that mother nature created just for you!
